Isn't It Tiny

This photograph is of two youngsters who came to see my 'train set'.  These were neighbours of my brother who had a small train set in a box that he often let them play with.  He lived about 25 miles away from me and asked me if he could bring them to see my ‘train set’ of course I agreed and he arranged a time to bring them.  They came to visit with their Grandma and on the way he told them that he was bringing them to see my train set and I may need to get it out of the box.

When they came they were full of excitement and asked if I would take my train set out of the box and set it up for him.  I first showed them the Z scale layout, then my ‘OO’ layout in the Train Room and finally my garden layout.  Of course the locos that I let him run were not my best.

It was a joy to see their faces, when the little boy went to school after his visit he was still so full of excitement he couldn’t stop talking about it.

This photograph was taken in November 2012
